1.10 - 1.12 How to add potion effects when armor is equipped

[TheRPGAdventurer]

 Hey guys, I now have plans for my new armor, yet I don't know how to add potion effects from it.  onItemRightClick() is this the method should I override? also, I am scared because what if I added potion effects from it then I set the time for like 1 minutes, then after that the effects would wear off, the player would need to reequip the armor to have that effects again yet it's annoying.

Subscribe to the PlayerTick event, and check if the player has the armour equipped. If so, give the player a potion effect for 1-2 ticks (higher for nightvision/nausea (effect flickers as it ends) etc)

Check this test from choonster. Might be just what you need (should work for 1.10/1.11 but it's 1.12 branch): https://github.com/Choonster-Minecraft-Mods/TestMod3/blob/1.12.2/src/main/java/choonster/testmod3/item/ItemArmourPotionEffect.java. Also check the Forge LivingEquipmentChangeEvent for 1.12 (I don't know if it exists for 1.10). HTH.

how do I make it for unlimited time.

You cannot.
You can either:

1. apply the potion with 1~2 seconds left, and re-apply it every tick or
2. apply the potion with Integer#MAX_VALUE as time, but this means that you have to also check if the player ISN'T wearing your armour. This can also lead to false positives in which the player gets the effect from another source, but you might remove it still, because the player doesn't have your armour...

You can add a method in your ClientProxy, supplying the PotionEffect that (will be/has been) added to the player, and in said method call PotionEffect::setPotionDurationMax(true). This only affects the timer cosmetically, making whatever time is left look like **:**.

Thanks, other question, how do I make it like RESITANCE II or ABSORPTION III

new PotionEffect(MobEffects#RESISTANCE, duration, level)...
A very simple glance at the PotionEffect constructors could have told you that...

Use one of the PotionEffect constructors that has an amplifier parameter.

oh so that what amplifier means?
